Writing and Presenting Reports

Writing and Presenting Reports teaches management at all levels how to write and present concise, robust reports that busy executives can quickly digest. The course not only combines report writing and presentation theory with lots of practice, it also equips delegates with a simple yet effective template for turning a report into a presentation.

Clients have the option of inviting an industry expert to support the delivery of the course. Using an industry expert who's able to translate concepts into familiar, work-based examples adds significant benefit for delegates, especially those working in the fields of IT, local government and finance. The expert can be in-house and provided by the client or external and sourced by me.
